North Riding

300km cycling event starting from Morton Park, Darlington. Controls at Guisborough, Seamer, Bilbrough Services, Scotch Corner and Morton Park., plus 2 information controls.

...and a bit of the East Riding. Barebones overnight event with no organised help en route - for experienced randonneurs only. But there are indoor 24-hour facilities at 100, 150 and 200 km. Postal finish.

The point of overnight riding, surely, is the opportunity to ride along roads that you wouldn't ride in the daytime. You can use roads that are horrible in the day, but deserted at night, and have the slightly transgressive feeling that you're doing something you probably shouldn't do (like going to the pictures in the daytime, and coming outside when it's still light). Note: not a PBP qualifier. IF YOU WANT TO ENTER ON THE LINE, EMAIL ME ASAP - NO ENTRIES ON THE LINE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE.
